«Una estrella llamada Henry» is the historical novel by Roddy Doyle, published by El Aleph Editores in paperback (528 pages, in Spanish).
Henry Smart is born in 1901 in the slums of Dublin and grows up amid poverty and the streets. At fourteen he fights in the Easter Rising of 1916 and in the Irish War of Independence, becoming a republican legend. The work combines epic, love story, and a portrait of modern Ireland.
The novel is the first installment of the series The Last Roundup, translated by Manuel Martínez Lage.
For readers of historical fiction and literary fiction, especially those interested in the history and literature of Ireland.
